4 US Tourists Killed in Small Plane Crash in Melbourne, Australia

Five people were killed when a small chartered plane crashed into a shopping mall shortly after takeoff from Melbourne's Essendon Airport Tuesday morning, according to a statement released by Victoria Police.

"It was a catastrophic plane crash, that has taken a number of lives. But certainly, if we look at the circumstances, we've been very lucky today depending on the time of day and who was around," Victoria Police Assistant Commissioner Stephen Leane said via CNN.
